    I bought the product at a huge chain grocery store (Ralphs) a few months back before I knew that you really shouldn't use beauty products that aren't gluten free. I hadn't used it yet. Counterfeit? Geez, that would be a twist! I figured that they just changed their phone number. Aveeno makes that product because the woman on the phone knew what...

    I just got off the phone is an Aveeno customer service representative and I am completely pissed off! I asked if a particular product is gluten free and she said that it is. Then I asked if it contained oats (because lots of Aveeno products do) to see if there might be a chance that I would get glutened from the oats and the woman said that she didn't...

    I recently contacted Minute Maid about their juices, here is their response, in case this is helpful for anyone. ~+~ Thank you for contacting The Minute Maid Company. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. We are able to confirm that Coca-Cola classic, caffeine free Coca-Cola classic, Coca-Cola Blak, Coca-Cola Zero, Barq's root...

    I do know that it doesn't matter whether or not you are allergic, intolerant, or celiac you have to go on a gluten free diet. Honestly, I wish I had known more (or that my doctor had) and I would have gotten a biopsy, just to see the results. Now that I've been on a gluten free diet for so long, the test won't be accurate anymore. I've afraid that you...

    Try Dove and Neutrogena. I've contacted the companies before and they have gluten free products. Just search for them on this forum. Neutrogena even emailed me a list of their gluten free products.

    I've been on the gluten-free diet for almost a year now after visiting my doctor. He did the blood test for celiac, which came back 'negative'. I don't have the specific numbers from the blood work. He told me to do a food diary and when I brought that to him, he said that I was "gluten intolerant" and to go gluten free. I had several symptoms beforehand...

    This is my favorite! Everyone always wants to eat all the expensive gluten-free dessert that I bake. I want to say, "Hey, I just spent $8 and two hours of my life making this! Go buy yourself some Oreos!"

    There is actually a Open Original Shared Link that deals specifically with pregnancy. I would post there first because they have the most experience. Hope that helps, that's all the info I have on the matter!

    Well, it looks like I'm not the only one, so that makes me feel good (I guess...). My friends keep pointing them out to me and ask if I want them to pull them out. I told them, "No! I earned those gray hairs so they are going to stay there!" I have to admit, I did check my ears and there are no lumps. Maybe one day.

    Glad that I'm not the only one! I see. I didn't realize that I had done anything worth flagging. Sorry!

    People are starting to point out that I'm getting a few gray hairs and I'm only 24. No one else I know my age is experiencing this problem. Could it be related to celiac because of the years of malasorbtion? I've been a gluten-free diet for about a year now. Any thoughts as to why this might be? No one in my family has a history of getting gray hairs...

    I have similar problems too! Does anyone know of a good brand of Melatonin to use? It seems to be the most recommended thing in all the sleep related posts. Are their any restrictions in taking it? Should you eat with it? I also notice lately that I've been waking up and all of my muscles are really tense, so much so that it's hard to move. I...

    I had a very similar problem when I went of to college and lived in the dorms. What I found helpful was to go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday. Sleep in college is so erratic that it messes with everyone's sleep cycles. Once I started doing that, I slept much sounder. Also, getting outside and exercising helped me a ton. I think a lot...

    No one has really mentioned this, but how about the idea of cooking your date dinner instead of eating out? How impressed would a girl be if you offered to cook dinner for her instead of take her out to eat. Major brownie points! My boyfriend and I pretty much always cook food together now for our dates and it's turned into one of our favorite activities...

    On my last post, I noticed that my name ID tag (for the lack of a better name) said "Warn 33%" next to the little green boxes. Does that mean something bad?

    I've yet to find anything that "speeds up the process." I just tell myself that it will be gone soon and try to do as little physical activity as possible. If you find out anything that makes you feel better, please let me know! Sorry I can't be of more help.

    My friend made me a gluten-free pie recipe. When I made it, it was honestly the bet pie I've ever had. Thought that I would share the love: Open Original Shared Link

    I just called their member services number: 800-774-2678. The woman on the phone wasn't very helpful. She said that they don't have a list of gluten-free items. I asked if they had any frozen fish that were gluten-free. She said that the only help she can give is requests about one specific food item at a time. Also, you need the product number of...

    What is candida? I've never heard of it and I'm having a hard time finding it's symptoms online. I eat mostly mexican food and eastern asian food now that I don't eat gluten. I think it happens more when I eat asian food, so it might be related to soy or some sort of a asian spice. How does one figure out if they have a deficiency? Do you just start...

    I'll do a food journal and see what that says. I know that I had a pretty bad reaction to when I ate tofu with Thai Kitchen green curry with rice. That's the worse one I've had so far, but I eat tofu and rice all the time and I've never noticed it to be a problem. Do most allergies or reactions take a day or two to take effect?
  21. Terbie
    That's interesting. I'll let her know that. Thanks!

    Hi everyone, I'm gluten intolerant and ever since then, my mother has wondered if she is too. She decided to go a gluten free diet for a few weeks to check. She experiences bloating, diarrhea, sinus congestion, and trouble sleeping. Other than the bloating, none of her symptoms are like mine. She went off gluten, but the only thing she has noticed...

    I've been off gluten for several months now and I've been feeling a million times better, but lately I've been getting weird symptoms. I think it might be related to something that I'm eating, but I'm not sure what it is because I can't seem to find the source. Basically, I will all of a sudden feel nervous, then my palm start itching and then my hands...

    Is there any reason to have a "definitive diagnosis" then? Does it matter for insurance or medical reasons? If you know to stay away from gluten, are there any benefits of having a positive diagnosis? My doctor said that I might have celiacs or I might just have a 'gluten sensitivity' and he didn't seem to think that it really mattered either way as long...

    For the blood panel to work, do you have to be eating gluten at the time? If so, how long beforehand do you need to be eating it for?
